5.3. What about the Mass? Why reject the Novus Ordo if it's approved by the Church?

We reject the Novus Ordo Mass because it was not approved by the Church in continuity with Tradition. Pope St. Pius V's Quo Primum (1570) gave a perpetual right to the Traditional Latin Mass and forbade anyone—even a future pope—from altering it. The Novus Ordo, created in 1969 under Paul VI, is a man-made liturgy designed with Protestant ministers, omitting numerous Catholic doctrines (e.g., the sacrificial nature of the Mass, the Real Presence) from its prayers.

It is a danger to the faith, lacks the reverence due to God, and deviates from the liturgy organically developed over centuries under the guidance of the Holy Ghost. No true pope could impose such a liturgy, which resembles Protestant communion services and has led to a weakening of belief in the Eucharist.
